Abstract
Described herein are a system and method for forming a container image. The system and method include obtaining a first layer of a plurality of layers of the container image. The contents of the first layer are stored in a directory such that a first disk image layer file is mounted to the directory. A second layer of the plurality of layers is obtained, and the contents of the second layer are stored in the directory so that the first disk image layer includes contents of the first layer and the second layer. The first disk image layer is saved and is mountable and includes files of the container image.
